Google fonts is a pretty awesome collection of web fonts.  There must be at least 500 of them.  Recently, I’ve gone through all of them for a project and, because it is such a time-consuming task, I took note of fonts that could possibly be used for very specific themes.  For reference, I am listing them and associating the first word that comes to my head with each – here they are:

  • Caesar Dressing (Greek)
  • Ceviche One (Pirate)
  • Cinzel Decorative (Fantasy)
  • Creepster (Haunted)
  • Eagle Lake (Arabian)
  • Emulogic (Retro)

Two notes:

  1. There might be a few mixed in that are not from Google fonts, there.
  2. Although I use Adobe products like Photoshop and Illustrator, I did not really cover Typekit fonts.
